WHO WE ARE
Union Gospel Mission aims to assist graduates in staying connected with each other and with the Mission’s counselors, for continued support and to help prevent relapse. Throughout the year, the Alumni meet as a group for fellowship. We also have joint alumni/resident open discussion meetings, the purpose of which is to connect the current residents of the Mission to the Alumni and Alumni to the Mission.
Many of the Alumni become valued volunteers and employees, and are active in reaching out to hurting and addicted individuals, who, like they were, are caught in the deadly spiral of addiction. To find out further information on the Alumni Association, drop us a lineat alumni@ugm.ca
